Chef Tim Says....

Here in the United States it's Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer. I'm visiting family in Northern Virginia, where the local picnic is serving barbecued chicken, hot dogs, and burgers, along with corn on the cob, potato salad, and ice cream sandwiches.

We here at Dr. Gourmet hope you're having a wonderful day with family and friends. Happy Labor Day!

You can use a Bosc or Bartlett pear if Asian pears are not in season. It will offer the same qualities for your marinade but will be a little sweeter. You can adjust with a little extra rice vinegar if the marinade is too sweet.

This recipe doesn't have to be used with only flank steak. Choose any cut of meat that you like, although this is ideally suited for tougher cuts. If you use a tougher cut, letting the meet marinate overnight is best.

This is a recipe that was inspired by my visit to Chile. The fish there was so fresh and you should choose a meaty white fish that is the freshest in the shop. It is important to start with fish that is cold, pat it with the panko mixture and then cook. The fish will take a little longer to cook if it is cold and will give the crust time to cook completely.

The side of pebre (Chilean salsa) is cool and refreshing and this is perfect served with Roasted Potatoes.
